Who the hell named Bunta/Jackal "champion pair"? Is like calling Rikkai "champions" nowadays...

I didn't mind it.
Actually Atobe > Gimp!Sanada.
Remember Yukimura told Sanada he would have lost.
So without Rai, Atobe would have won.

I liked the arc too.
The idea of a Regional Select team was fanatastic and it began really great.
Kevin defeating Akutsu, Hiyoshi and Tetsu was cool.

Problem was the team the Filler guys decided to pick. It sucked. They screwed up.
Of those available, those who should have made it:
Sanada, Atobe, Fuji, Inui, Yanagi, Kirihara, Ryoma, maybe Yushi.

Sengoku in Singles was crazy bad. He sucks. I don't hate him but he simply isn't that good.

Fuji/Saeki bting Yanagi/Inui pair was a joke too far for me.

Bobby Max and Arnold Ignashov had lame abilities. They could have been given some cool shots but the anime guys didn't do well.
Kevin should have been given cooler abilities too. In fact, they all deserved cooler abilities.

Sengoku in Singles was crazy bad. He sucks. I don't hate him but he simply isn't that good.

He was the 6th best player in Kanto before PoT started, he deserved a come back u.u

I can´t defend that. Probably they saw Data Pair as a boring pair (but they completely forgot that they were unbeatable).

Yeah, some of the matches were rushed and so did the West characters (I still don´t get how Kikumaru and Yuushi lost their match...)

It´s funny that they forgot to call Jirou (one of the most popular characters back then) and that they only called 3 Rikkai players.

I wouldn't say Sanada couldn't have won without Rai. What Yukimura meant was that Sanada wouldn't win had he kept using Zan over and over (which is the way he chooses to beat people). Just like he spammed Rin to beat Yanagi and Rai to beat Tezuka, he spammed Zan to beat Atobe. If Sanada would throw away his head on style like he did with Tezuka, he would have still beat Atobe.

Oh hell no. That one thing made me hate Kevin. Nobody does that to Akutsu.

He got the boxing upgrade that made him beat Tezuka zone. I'd say that's pretty good.

I've never thought of it this way. It would make sense.

I agree.

I can understand it was bullshit to most fans. I only thought it was reasonable as it meant Kevin had a reason to be overhyped.
He had defeating Akutsu on his CV. That's fantastic lol.
AnimeRegionals!Sengoku was fantastic. I wish they didn't run away with the storyline and kept it as canon as they could.
Had they kept it canon, that Kanto team would have been: Sanada, Atobe, Ryoma, Fuji, Kirihara, Inui, Yanagi and Yushi.

That was his highlight lmao.
Couldn't stand how useless he was. They could have done a lot better.
Niou, Yagyuu, Marui and Jackal choosing not to participate I guess explains how Kikumaru and Yushi got a Doubles spot.
With Tachibana injured for some reason, Akutsu quitting tennis, I think they only screwed up by making Weste Coast USA lame, boring and poor abilities.

They shouldn't have improved Sengoku imo. It got me really pleased thinking it was canon since I watched the anime of PoT and only do manga for SPoT.

LOL imagine a Regional Camp at this stage in the story.
And Japan had Intra-National matches between the regions.
